I have looked high and low for useful information and techniques related to my field of Sculpture in the Entertainment Industry. So I was thrilled when I came across John Brown's Gnomon Workshop Sculpture series. He provides clear, practical and efficient lessons learned from his many years of experience. John teaches a process from scratch that will benefit everyone from novice to professional and will be helpful to an artist even beyond sculpture. Excellent!

Inside Sculpting the Femme Fatale, John demonstrates how to sculpt the fantasy oriented, sexy, dangerous female character. Beginning with a concept sketch and an understanding of gesture and balance, students will quickly learn the essentials of female anatomy through a comparative study using a live female model. Students will also learn the seven major differences between the female and male figures. John also meticulously covers sculpting form fitting clothing and accessories like boots and helmets. What makes this sculpture training DVD unique is its results-oriented theories and techniques that teach students how to analyze the body’s forms properly, and to see and correct their own mistakes. By gaining a sharper eye, students will become equipped to extrapolate the figure’s forms with respect to the rudiments and fundamentals of anatomy, enhancing their ability to design and develop their own sense of style.
